Watson Phase Contrast Condenser
Not found too often these day, this is a Watson phase contrast condenser originally designed for the Microsystem 70 range. It has a very clever double layer of phase rings that significantly reduces the ‘lip’ size of the Zernike system. This unit has been well used but works well.

Diamond Rules Stage Micrometer
These days most standard stage micrometers are in effect transfers. This is a micrometer from a time when accuracy was required and transfer technology was unreliable. This micrometer consists of diamond etched ruled lines. 0.1 mm divided into 0.1 to 0.01mm mm lines. Prepared by Martock Designs Somerset.
SOLD
Bakers Mechanical Stage Attachment
At some point in the history of UK microscope manufacture, Vickers and Baker joined to make a drum shaped microscope that is better known as the Vickers Patholette. This is the mechanical stage attachment that will fit either of these branded versions of the same microscope.

Watson Stage Micrometer
This is an excellent example of stage micrometers before they became transfers. Watson was one of the trusted suppliers at that time. The scale is divided into 0.01 and 0.001 divisions. This is by other measurers a collector’s piece.

Leitz Freezing Microtome
This is not really for the amateur but for those with some experience of microtomy. The microtome was used to cut frozen sections of fixed material by using the sudden expansion of compressed carbon dioxide gas from a cylinder. The connection pipe and freezing stage are present but should only be attached to a cylinder of gas by those who are experienced with the procedure. It currently has a stage that will take paraffin blocks attached to a wooden chuck which can also be sectioned by this microtome. Sectioning knife included. The microtome is clearly well used but is fully functional.

Martock Stage Micrometer
These days most standard stage micrometers are in effect transfers. This is a micrometer from a time when accuracy was required and transfer technology was unreliable. This micrometer consists of diamond etched ruled lines. 0.5 inches divided into 0.01 to 0.0005 inch lines. Prepared by Martock Designs Somerset.
SOLD
PZO Drawing Attachment
Drawing attachments are difficult to come by these days. This PZO unit is best suited to a monocular microscope because of its compact structure. Placed in the microscope eyetube it acts as an eyepiece, and has a prism below the top lens which allows drawing paper placed near the microscope to see a superimposed image of the specimen and pen. The successful use of these units depends upon getting the light balance even for both the microscope and the paper. Usually this means using an external light source on the paper

Brunel Digicam WiFi Camera
Used only by ourselves for customer demonstrations. The Brunel Digicam Cameras are stand alone streaming cameras that provide a continuous live image to a laptop or PC. The Digicam units work with Windows (from XP to 10). Unlike the Eyecam, these cameras need a cctv adapter to link the camera to standard microscope eyetubes and the cctv adapter can be inserted into the monocular eyetube (23.2mm), or one of the binocular or into the trinocular tube of almost all microscopes. The WiFi units have their own IP address and can send images to any other WiFi enabled unit such as a mobile phone, laptop, PC or iPad etc. These can be used where distance prevents corded connection of the camera to a computer. The WiFi signal reduces the potential resolution and these are available at 1M. Sold with CCTV adapter, USB lead and software.
SOLD
Vickers Image Splitting Eyepiece
Made by Vickers, this is an auxiliary device for microscopes whereby the image formed by the microscope objective is divided by beam dividers into two parts which form two split images which are movable for the purpose of measuring linear distances in the object plane of the microscope, and for measuring such distances along any meridian in said plane. In good condition

Microscope Case
This is a wooden microscope case for those microscopists that have to ‘marry’ their microscopy passion with the furniture of their homes. The back and bottom of these cases are from block MDF but the rest of the case is from ‘real wood’ - medium oak. Carrying handle and lock and key. This is a substantial case and not really designed for microscope transport but for microscope stowage in full view. External dimensions 480mm height, 400mm depth and 300mm width with internal measurements 430mm height, 350mm depth and 260mm width. A piece of furniture rather than a microscope case.
